含而不露的Metaphor(隐喻)(上) (英语修辞系列之三)2、含而不露的Metaphor(隐喻)Metaphor(汉译名为“隐喻”或“暗喻”),也是一种比喻,它不用比喻词,直接把甲事物(喻体)当作乙事物(本体)来描述,其比喻关系隐含在句意中,从而更生动、更深刻地说明事理,增强语言的表现力。
Webster’s New World Dictionary的解释是:“a figure of speech containing an implied comparison, in which a word or phrase ordinarily and primarily used of one thing is applied to another”这个解释的意思是说,隐喻是一种隐含着比喻的修辞格,他通常的基本用法是,表述某一事物的词或短语被用来表述另外的一种事物。
由于比喻是隐含的,决定了它的本体与喻体的关系必然十分紧密。
与simile相比较,不但不需要as, like之类的比喻词,有时甚至可以连本体也不出现。
基于这种情况,有些词典或著作常常对metaphor和simile同时论述,称之为“浓缩的明喻(a compressed or condensed simile)”。
如A Dictionary of Literary Terms对Metaphor的定义就是如此,“Metaphor: A figure of speech in which one thing is described in terms of another. The basic figure in poetry. A comparison is usually implicit; whereas in simile it is explicit.”下面用实例对这两种修辞格做一比较:1a. Life is like an isthmus between two eternities. (simile)生活像永恒的生死两端之间的峡道。
